We're dividing 879661 by 43 
We want to divide 879661 by 43.

Going ahead to step 1:
43 can be fit into 8 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Take the next digit (7) from the dividend and append it to 8, then repeat: 87 / 43

Moving on to step 2:
When dividing 87 by 43, we get 2 with a remainder of 1.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
If we subtract 86 from 87, we get 1.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 19 / 43

Moving on to step 3:
The number 43 fits into 19 0 times, leaving a remainder of 19.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20.0
Subtracting 0 from 19 leaves us with 19.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 19 and continue with: 196 / 43

Step 4:
The number 43 fits into 196 4 times, leaving a remainder of 24.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 204.0
Subtracting 172 from 196 leaves us with 24.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 24, then repeat: 246 / 43

Advancing to step 5:
43 can be fit into 246 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 31.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2045.0
If we subtract 215 from 246, we get 31.
Take the next digit (1) from the dividend and append it to 31, then repeat: 311 / 43

On to step 6:
43 goes into 311 7 times with a remainder of 10.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 20457.0
Subtract 301 from 311 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
43 goes into 100 2 times with a remainder of 14.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20457.2
Subtract 86 from 100 to get 14.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 140, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
43 goes into 140 3 times with a remainder of 11.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 20457.23
Subtracting 129 from 140 leaves us with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

Step 9:
43 can be fit into 110 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 24.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20457.232
The remainder is 24 after subtracting 86 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 240, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
When dividing 240 by 43, we get 5 with a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 20457.2325
Deduct 215 from 240 and we're left with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 250 by 43, we get 5 and a remainder of 35.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20457.23255
Subtracting 215 from 250 leaves us with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 20457.23255, and the remainder is 3.5e-05.
